The dementia field must deliver innovations faster. At the same time, health systems, governments, and communities must be better prepared to rapidly adapt and deploy these innovations. The 2025 WDC Summit will challenge participants to think boldly and offer solutions to accelerate innovation and deliver breakthroughs to individuals, families and communities.
Format
The Summit will be a combination of plenary sessions and parallel sessions. There will be opening and closing plenary sessions and parallel sessions between the plenary. All the sessions are “in conversation” format, whether plenary or parallel. We don’t ask panellists to make presentations/give speeches. We encourage spontaneous conversation and a lot of interaction between panellists and the audience.
Participants
The Summit will hear the perspectives of policymakers, the research community, industry, care providers and advocates. The audience will be about 200 people. Registration will open in September.
The 2025 WDC Summit will explore two themes:
- Accelerating innovation in prevention, diagnosis and treatment
- Delivering change through health systems
